Avenue of Statues Would Beautify Sixteenth Street
Commissioner Rudolph backs a plan to line Sixteenth Street NW with statues of presidents and later vice presidents. The effort, supported by the District government, would educate visitors and residents about national leaders, with funding talks involving Congress and local chambers of commerce. Estimates place each statue at about 7000 dollars, with total costs potentially reaching 500000 dollars if vice presidents are included. Civic groups seek billboard removal on Sixteenth Street and assurance of municipal support.
